In our standard and premium DJ packages you get access to our music database online to let us know what songs, artists, and types of music you both want and don’t want at your party. The website locks you out 5 days prior to your event to give us time to create the playlist on our computers. The premium package also gives you a DJ assistant who can download on demand so your party will never be without a song.
Do you take requests at the party?
Yes. We love requests. We always want to play what you want to hear and dance to. Use the online database to make sure all the songs you really want are at your party so we never have to say “we don’t have that song”.
What is the difference between dancers and game masters?
Dancers are at parties to dance on stage. They know all the latest dances and moves, look great, and are super fun and exciting to have at your event. They are both for show and also interactive leading different types of follow dances and throwing out props and gifts (if provided). Game Masters, along with the DJ, run dance floor type games to keep the party in action between dance songs.
Which do I need for my party?
It depends. If your party is full of people who love to dance and don’t need or want any games then you will want the dancers. If you want lots of games and less dancing then it’s the game masters. And if your party is a mix of games and dancing then choose a combo package.
